How to speed up json parsing ?

[nbanb]

Dear contributors

This is more à challenge than an issue...!

I m currently using this code in different project I maintain and for example the main one is a bash library of ~3500 lines : fbx-delta-nba_bash_api.sh .

Json parsing is working fine but when an api call reply a complexe json which is more than 80kb or 100kb, parsing became very slow, too slow for a dynamic usage...

I need a way to throttle by 10 or more those functions (certains json parsing takes several minutes)...

I did try to systematically cache all parsed values and I get a global throttle of x3 on the frontend functions of the library which are using this project as the underlying engine. But it's still not enough for a proper dynamic usage (dynamic question/reply).

Maybe there is something I'm doing wrong, but as I'm not a developer, I don't know what to do so I would ask for help here (and i cannot use 'jq' instead).

Does someone has an idea of how speeding up the exec of these function ?

Is there some small change which permit execution throttling ?

Thanks and kind regards
